You are jogging for one hour at a speed of 5 m/s and for the final 200 m you decide to increase your velocity to 11 m/s. Assuming you were able to do so instantaneously. Once you reach that speed how long it will take to cover 200m?

Answer:


t=18.18s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the exercise we know that the person change its initial velocity from 5m/s to 11 m/s for 200m

According to the formula:


v=(x)/(t)

If we want to know how much time does it take to cover 200 m at 11 m/s we need to calculate the following formula:


t=(x)/(v)=(200m)/(11m/s)=18.18s
